About this episode
What changes when the way we think about education starts to shift? The Education Entrepreneurship Lab's Nasiyah Isra-Ul speaks with Mickey Revenaugh, an author, innovator, and co-founder of Connections Academy, about her new book, School's Out: Why Families Are Choosing Unconventional Education, that discusses this very topic.
From the early days of Connections Academy to the post-pandemic surge in alternative education, Mickey traces the ideas that changed how families think about school, technology, and success. Together, Nasiyah and Mickey connect the past with the present, answering some of the hot-button questions parents are asking now: What do kids actually need? What counts as a good outcome? And how do we build learning models that keep curiosity alive?
